Arguably a leak down test is the best way to determine overall health of your motor--at least the rotating assembly.
I have a whole Snap-On brand setup for leak down testing and all necessary tools, and was thinking that if any of you wanted this test you could get it done at my place during the rally at the lunch or dinner whatever I'm putting on here, yet tbd.
I have a rock-free beach now that is 40 ft long and sandy, so it will be marked and you can drive your bow right up on it. I can have the air compressor and tools at the beach or on the dock. Beach probably makes more sense.
I just did leak downs on 3 motors last night. My 300 drag is running 1% to 4%, a brand new 1998 260 (long story) is 2% across the board, and an extremely expensive "best motor I ever made" bought in 2005 from a well-known con artist is at 40% to 7%.
